Problems with typesetting

Hi folks!I am a newbie here,and i really love manga,and i want to translate manga from english to bulgarian(bulgarian is my home language).But i have problems with rewriting things that are not in 'clouds'.For example this link http://www.mangabit.com/manga/naruto/chapter/528/page/1
what program should i use in order to translate it.I have adobe photoshop cs 5,but i am newbie there also
If somebody could help,i'd really appreciate it.

Re: Problems with translating

I think you are talking about typesetting/redrawing, rather than translating

Well, as you can see from my user group, I'm not a scanlator (I clicked because the topic said "translating" ) so I can't offer any first hand tips but I think these tutorials look like excellent guides: part 1part 2

Like I said, I'm not a scanlator, but from what I can see (I'm proficient with photoshop) and as the tutorials confirm, it'll involve a lot of use of the pen tool and clone stamp and of course, a lot of experience Experiment around and I'm sure you'll improve by leaps and bounds in no time

What I would recommend is to just typeset over it, then put the stroke on it to white and make sure it covers all the English text up.
